Give Me Mine Now

Give Me Mine Now

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” (Revelation 19:9)

You have heard it. I have heard it. Both believers and unbelievers ofttimes accuse bible believing Christians of being too busy with work, praise and prayer that they “so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly use.” These doubting souls want immediate satisfaction. They seem to think that they should be super souls in this very time. The non believers feel that if that is not possible, they want nothing to do with promised way out rewards. They apply old adage, “pie in the sky in the sweet bye and bye.” This attitude is, of course, unjustified. The Lord Jesus told us himself to: “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13), and we are also instructed: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23). A Christian could—and should—be doing heatedly in his particular occupation than they would ever have done as a non-Christian. All honorable occupations come within the scope of God’s primeval dominion commandment (Genesis 1:26-28). “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

I assure you my fellow believers, there is indeed a great feast day coming in the bye and bye, and indeed it will be a great blessing to be “called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.” Presumably those who partake of this wonderful feast will be not only those who constitute His Bride, but also others who are called to be guests at His wedding supper. Since the Holy City is also called “the bride, the Lamb’s wife” and since it is inscribed with the names of both the “twelve tribes” of Israel and also of the “twelve apostles” (Revelation 21:9, 12, 14), it is clear that believers from before Christ (Law Age) and after Christ (Gentile Age) will be there. They will all have responded to the Lord’s invitation and have had the right attitude of heart and life toward the will of the Bridegroom (Matthew 22:1-14; 25:1-13). Some may be sent other than those dressed in white and being improperly adorned with the love of God will be evicted as unfit and uncalled. Only those who have worked and waited upon heavenly rewards will be invited and this is just the beginning of treasures indescribable. 5-18-19 Know God, know peace. Amen BLL
